At the Hunter Nelson Sturge-Weber Center at Kennedy Krieger Institute, patient's visits are tailored to meet their individual needs and clinical services are coordinated accordingly.
In this way, the most relevant diagnostic testing can be performed to evaluate and most effectively treat each patient.
Every effort is made to assist patients, their families and referring physicians in the care of patients with SWS by providing education regarding the disease and its various aspects.
In addition to dermatologic, neurologic, and opthalmologic diagnostic evaluations, the Hunter Nelson Sturge-Weber Center provides other evaluation services including EEG, neuroradiologic, rehabilitative medicine and neuropsychologic evaluations. Additional services include:
Multidisciplinary Clinic:
Happening on the first Friday of every month, Sturge-Weber patients can receive high level coordinated care by meeting with four or more providers in the same room.

Ophthalmology and dermatology appointments can be coordinated as well.
